Have a vision
It’s just fun to put things together! There are no limits when you create something from a vision - from your heart.
These are some of my favorite things to work with . Vintage buttons, native rock and gems that I’ve polished and silver-plate silverware, collected throughout the years. I have a bending tool and vice in my shop to make smooth bends for rings and bracelets. I hand pound all my own wares to create original designs depending on what I'm making.
Sometimes things turn out and sometimes they don’t!
I admire all the design and craftsmanship that is in vintage silver-plate silverware. My favorite is when I run across initials on the handles. It dates the piece and gives it personality. I try to imagine the person to whom the initials belonged.
